Lincoln Memorial

I took this shot right before I left to Philly. You know how it is before you leave for a trip. You get so busy running errands and making sure you have everything in order before you leave, so I didn’t have time to process any of these images.

I remember this being a super peaceful morning. I tried walking to the Lincoln Memorial a different way then I’m used to so I could see if I could find a new POV. Then I thought about the beautiful engraving on the steps. I was so concentrated on trying to get this shot, I didn’t even realize there were some army guys working out on the bottom of the steps. All of the sudden they all started charging up the steps. Well Good Morning to you guys too 😉

As I was walking down the reflecting pool, I saw these ducks and thought that it was so cool that they were still in the reflecting pool swimming. They even had snow on their backs that they didn’t even seem to mind. Just kept on swimming along. So I set up my tripod really quickly and waiting for them to swim past me. And they would just keep swimming, just keep swimming.
